Summer School Options

1. Summer School in Textual Criticism

The Department of Humanities at the University of Ferrara offers an intensive 2-week summer school in textual criticism. The course is aimed at both graduate and PhD students in diverse disciplines who would like to improve and deepen their knowledge in the field of Textual Criticism, with particular attention to more recent developments.

SCOPE: The aim of the summer school is to illustrate the interdisciplinary approaches to manuscript studies combining lectures in history and philology with non-textual information from materials analysis, imaging techniques, digital humanities and computer science.

Lectures will be complemented with practical courses in small groups on mobile instruments (e.g. x-ray fluorescence XRF, multispectral imaging MSI, and Reflectance Transformation Imaging RTI) and on computer programs.

WHEN: 6-12 september 2015,
WHERE: on the beautiful island Frauenwörth D-83256 Frauenchiemsee (Germany) - www.frauenwoerth.de
